Characterising maize viruses associated with maize lethal necrosis symptoms in sub Saharan Africa

2017-07-14

Abstract excerpt

Maize lethal necrosis disease (MLN) is an emerging disease in East Africa caused by the introduction of Maize chlorotic mottle virus (MCMV). Recent activity seeking to limit spread of the disease is reliant on effective diagnostics. Traditional diagnostics applied on samples with typical field symptoms of MLN have often given negative results using ELISA or PCR for MCMV and Sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV). Samples...
